"Love this place for traditional Pakistani food. Delicious food. Service was great. Lots of signage saying please be nice to staff so I'm sure they have had some issues from customers previously. We have always had good service. Food always delicious. Love the decor. Disappointed there was no icecream or dessert available because of broken down machinery but will try again next time."

"Had an amazing dining experience at Olives Pakistani Restaurant in Adelaide. We ordered the Chicken Karhai, Chicken Handi, Chicken Boti, and Roghni Naan — and every dish delivered on both flavor and authenticity. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that the Chicken Karhai has an authentic Pakistani taste — every bite takes you down memory lane, as if you’re sitting with a friend at a local restaurant in Pakistan, enjoying a classic Desi Karhai. Will definitely recommend everyone to try their Chicken Karhai."

"Our first time there. The qabuli rice was some of the best we’ve tasted. So tender and delicious. The breads were so fresh and mouth watering. We also had lamb tikka and eggplant masala which were also first rate. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing. We just felt a little funny in the tummy the next day but nothing serious."

"Coming from melb, this is definitely one of, if not the best Pakistani restaurant I’ve been in Australia. Not just the food but the level of service and cleanliness is outstanding. Its a shame that they had to put a notice for rude customers to not argue with the staff at the counter, i hope the customers can raise their standards too if they are visiting such a place. Definitely recommended"

"What a fantastic little restaurant!! Great atmosphere that is friendly, inviting and relaxed, while being stylish and on trend. The wait staff are first class with them consistently observing what is going on and how they can help you. Food was amazing!! We did the vegetarian menu and every mouthful was flavoursome and a feast for the senses. Loved the Eggplant , the Shahi paneer . Would highly recommend eating here, perfect for a romantic dinner or a group. Do yourself and your partner a favour, come here as soon as you can."
